:00:00. > :00:23.The radical plans to change the parliamentary boundaries for the

:00:24. > :00:27.House of Commons. Many MPs are unhappy. There is an absence of

:00:28. > :00:32.fairness in these proposals which I don't think the British people will

:00:33. > :00:38.like. We will have the details and look at the impact on the plans.

:00:39. > :00:42.Also tonight... Welcome to the Great British Bake Off.

:00:43. > :00:44.The Great British Bake Off is on the move -

:00:45. > :00:52.but Mel and Sue say they won't "follow the dough" to Channel 4.

:00:53. > :00:54.Health and the presidency - Clinton supporters say their woman

:00:55. > :00:58.And another great day for Paralympics GB -

:00:59. > :00:59.three more golds - including Rob Davies

:01:00. > :01:04.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News:

:01:05. > :01:06.A hat trick for Lionel Messi as Scottish champions Celtic

:01:07. > :01:09.are hammered by Barcelona in the Nou Camp on their return

:01:10. > :01:42.Controversial plans for re-drawing the parliamentary constituency

:01:43. > :01:47.boundaries in England and Wales, were published

:01:48. > :01:51.boundaries in England and Wales, were published today.

:01:52. > :01:55.losing a quarter of its seats - and dozens of MPs -

:01:56. > :01:57.including Jeremy Corbyn and George Osborne -

:01:58. > :02:02.Plans for Scotland are expected at the end of October,

:02:03. > :02:09.Every five years we elect members of Parliament

:02:10. > :02:11.from all over the UK to represent us at Westminster.

:02:12. > :02:16.But the government thinks the current system is unfair

:02:17. > :02:19.Here in the Midlands, major changes are on the cards.

:02:20. > :02:22.Ministers want to cut the cost of politics by axing

:02:23. > :02:34.At the moment, these three Labour MPs represent Stoke but the new map

:02:35. > :02:37.shows that being reduced to two at the next election.

:02:38. > :02:41.That will mean friends fighting it out for the new seats.

:02:42. > :02:43.What we're seeing under this Tory plan is a whole sale assault

:02:44. > :02:47.on Labour constituencies from Wales to Stoke-on-Trent to the north-east,

:02:48. > :02:55.so there is an absence of fairness in these proposals.

:02:56. > :02:57.The Boundary Commission are effectively downgrading

:02:58. > :02:58.the importance of cities like Stoke-on-Trent.

:02:59. > :03:01.Giving each constituency roughly the same number of voters could make

:03:02. > :03:03.it harder for Labour to win the next election.

:03:04. > :03:06.The party performs better in urban seats like Stoke which tend

:03:07. > :03:11.Under the plans, every constituency will have

:03:12. > :03:23.So in England the number of MPs will fall from 533 to 501.

:03:24. > :03:26.From 40 to 29 in Wales, from 59 to 53 in Scotland, and from

:03:27. > :03:38.Orkney and Shetland on the Western Isles will

:03:39. > :03:40.have fewer voters as will the two new constituencies

:03:41. > :03:47.Currently we have seats which are three times the size

:03:48. > :03:51.of another which means one elector's vote is worth three times of another

:03:52. > :03:53.and that simply not fair, which is why we're determined

:03:54. > :03:56.to ensure equal size constituencies that is why this has been enacted.

:03:57. > :04:07.For the first time a new constituency will straddle

:04:08. > :04:09.the Cornwall Devon border across the Tamar.

:04:10. > :04:12.We are one county, they are another county.

:04:13. > :04:14.Why don't they just keep it to their selves?

:04:15. > :04:17.I think it will work fine because, you know, we're all very similar,

:04:18. > :04:25.For Labour, there's another dimension to these boundary changes.

:04:26. > :04:28.All three of the MPs here in Stoke have been really critical

:04:29. > :04:31.And his supporters have already raised the possibility

:04:32. > :04:33.of using the shakeup of constituencies to get rid

:04:34. > :04:35.of these MPs and bring in their own people.

:04:36. > :04:39.Potentially changing the face of the Labour Party.

:04:40. > :04:42.In terms of anyone trying to exploit this for political gain,

:04:43. > :04:46.for making this about them and not about the people we choose to serve,

:04:47. > :04:51.they should be ashamed of themselves.

:04:52. > :04:54.This process has been likened to a game of musical chairs but

:04:55. > :04:57.MPs in the House of Lords still have to approve the measures and there's

:04:58. > :04:59.a public consultation, so there's still everything

:05:00. > :05:08.If you want to know how your local area could be affected,

:05:09. > :05:13.there's lots of information on our website -

:05:14. > :05:16.including a full breakdown of what is changing and where.

:05:17. > :05:29.There is also an interactive map on part of the website. You can click

:05:30. > :05:41.on that in your area and see what is being proposed.

:05:42. > :05:50.The Labour leader Owen Smith has said --

:05:51. > :06:02.-- the Labour leader candidate Owen Smith has said Jeremy Corbyn is

:06:03. > :06:06.delusional. Laura Kuenssberg has been interviewing him.

:06:07. > :06:08.Hello, it's John here from the Owen Smith campaign.

:06:09. > :06:12.The leader has to be creating policies.

:06:13. > :06:15.Owen Smith's supporters try to persuade Labour members even

:06:16. > :06:19.They know and he knows Jeremy Corbyn is the overwhelming favourite.

:06:20. > :06:22.While a room in a leisure centre is readied for another

:06:23. > :06:33.Labour's got to win and with Jeremy we've got no chance of it.

:06:34. > :06:35.Jeremy Corbyn claims though that Tories are in retreat.

:06:36. > :06:39.I think that's delusional and I think the reality is Jeremy

:06:40. > :06:41.needs to think a bit more about that straight, honest politics

:06:42. > :06:46.The straight, honest truth is that we are right now

:06:47. > :06:52.I think he's misleading himself if he thinks that we're heading

:06:53. > :06:58.So you are suggesting that he and some of his

:06:59. > :07:01.They've said repeatedly, look, actually they've been ahead

:07:02. > :07:03.in some opinion polls, doing well in by-elections,

:07:04. > :07:10.Isn't the truth he's been able to motivate thousands of supporters

:07:11. > :07:20.We've had mass rallies many times in the past.

:07:21. > :07:23.It doesn't necessarily translate into the only mass movement

:07:24. > :07:28.which really matters which is a mass movement of people voting Labour.

:07:29. > :07:34.He says his values are the same as the leader he is trying to beat.

:07:35. > :07:37.We're going to ask you all to write down what is the most

:07:38. > :07:39.important thing for the next Labour Party leader.

:07:40. > :07:42.But for some Owen Smith supporters, the most important thing seems

:07:43. > :07:48.Reveal your words.

:07:49. > :07:57.It feels like Jeremy just closed himself off behind the walls

:07:58. > :08:00.in the opposition office and he refuses to listen to anyone

:08:01. > :08:07.I think he's that unifying person because the Labour Party's always

:08:08. > :08:09.been a coalition of members of Parliament and the members

:08:10. > :08:20.I think we've forgotten that we are a movement

:08:21. > :08:25.Don't you and your colleagues in Westminster have to accept

:08:26. > :08:29.that if he wins again, the party has changed?

:08:30. > :08:34.My vision of the Labour Party is a serious party of power.

:08:35. > :08:38.It's a party that is created, was created, is still existing

:08:39. > :08:41.in order to hold power at Westminster through the ballot

:08:42. > :08:45.box in order to change people's lives.

:08:46. > :08:47.If we don't win this time, would you run again?

:08:48. > :08:51.I'll wait and see what happens on the 24th.

:08:52. > :08:59.I think that's a hypothetical question

:09:00. > :09:03.Let's get the 24th and see what happens then.

:09:04. > :09:09.Labour's now huge new membership will judge if he is a priority

:09:10. > :09:17.The day after Channel Four announced it had bought

:09:18. > :09:21.the rights to the BBC series - The Great British Bake Off -

:09:22. > :09:23.The day after Channel Four announced it had bought

:09:24. > :09:25.the programme's presenters announced they would not be carrying

:09:26. > :09:29.Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc said they were saddened the programme

:09:30. > :09:31.would be moving from its home, and they wouldn't be

:09:32. > :09:35.The BBC says it was unable to afford the sum being demanded

:09:36. > :09:38.by the production company - as David Sillito explains.

:09:39. > :09:42.Three weeks in, 12 bakers down to ten, they are on a roll, as are we.

:09:43. > :09:45.The presenters of Britain's biggest show.

:09:46. > :09:53.Following a decision to move to Channel 4,

:09:54. > :09:56.they issued a statement saying - we were very shocked and saddened

:09:57. > :09:59.to learn yesterday evening that Bake Off will be moving

:10:00. > :10:32.This is a ?75 million transfer deal but did not automatically come with

:10:33. > :10:36.the team. After years of running productions at ITV, one boss thinks

:10:37. > :10:40.it is good enough. This is very strong. I think it will be a tough

:10:41. > :10:46.call Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood don't do the show. But if there are

:10:47. > :10:51.new presenters, it is the same show, it is baking, things rise, things

:10:52. > :11:00.fall. But there is another issue about this deal. Yes, the BBC was

:11:01. > :11:04.outbid by ?10 million from a commercial rival. It is business

:11:05. > :11:06.after all. But there is a question about this rival being Channel 4.

:11:07. > :11:10.This government-owned TV business is in a fight, trying to fend off

:11:11. > :11:17.privatisation by saying its reputation for innovation and trying

:11:18. > :11:26.out new formats could be lost. So how does this deal fitting?

:11:27. > :11:28.They have spent two years arguing against privatisation and they have

:11:29. > :11:33.now behaved precisely like a fully privatised company.

:11:34. > :11:42.This seems to be against their idea to cater for different tastes and

:11:43. > :11:44.remix. I think it is a shocking decision from Channel 4.

:11:45. > :11:47.In response, Channel 4 said its public service programming

:11:48. > :12:01.This is Italian Bake off. This is the German one. And both will

:12:02. > :12:08.continue to be made by the BBC. But they don't own the format or the

:12:09. > :12:12.intellectual property. Independent producers own their own intellectual

:12:13. > :12:16.property. That has made it invested all and turned it into a global

:12:17. > :12:19.leader. There is no question that British production is a global

:12:20. > :12:24.leader, so alter the good. The problem is, when it comes to the

:12:25. > :12:31.contract, the BBC do not own it. We don't know the winner yet but the

:12:32. > :12:34.Bake-Off tent has been packed away in the past, the channels had all

:12:35. > :12:44.the power but increasingly they are just customers.

:12:45. > :12:46.The World Anti-Doping Agency said tonight that confidential data

:12:47. > :12:49.relating to the Rio Olympics had been stolen by Russian hackers,

:12:50. > :12:51.including records for Serena and Venus Williams and the US

:12:52. > :12:54.The Kremlin has denied any involvement.

:12:55. > :12:55.Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks joins me now.

:12:56. > :13:06.Let's talk about what has been accessed and possibly why. The

:13:07. > :13:09.hackers call themselves fancy bears. They have hacked into the system

:13:10. > :13:13.where athletes can tell drug testers where they are going to be and they

:13:14. > :13:19.have leaked confidential medical data online. They are essentially

:13:20. > :13:23.alleging Wada knew that athletes were taking banned substances this

:13:24. > :13:32.summer. In the case of Simone Biles, who won four gold medals, it was a

:13:33. > :13:36.drug used to treat ADHD. The substances mentioned in the leaks

:13:37. > :13:41.had therapeutic use exemption is which means they were allowed to use

:13:42. > :13:45.them for a specific medical reason. She has tweeted tonight that taking

:13:46. > :13:51.medication for her condition is nothing to be ashamed of, but the US

:13:52. > :13:55.anti-doping agency has blasted the hacks as cowardly and despicable.

:13:56. > :14:02.The link will be made to the macro Aaron report which led to more than

:14:03. > :14:08.100 Russian athletes being exempted in the summer -- the McLaren report.

:14:09. > :14:12.The hackers have said there are more revelations to come and it will be

:14:13. > :14:17.about other nations and that could be about Team GB. Thank you.

:14:18. > :14:20.The chair of the BBC Trust, Rona Fairhead, is to step

:14:21. > :14:25.She was meant to stay on to chair the new BBC Board but she's now been

:14:26. > :14:27.told by the Prime Minister that she would have

:14:28. > :14:32.She said in a statement that she'd decided not to re-enter the process.

:14:33. > :14:34.HMRC says it won't extend its existing contract with Concentrix,

:14:35. > :14:40.a company it employs to check entitlement to tax credits,

:14:41. > :14:42.after the BBC learned that hundreds of low-income families complained

:14:43. > :14:44.that their tax credits had been cut in error.

:14:45. > :14:52.Police investigating a racially aggravated assault have released

:14:53. > :14:55.a CCTV image of a man they would like to question.

:14:56. > :14:58.A pregnant woman lost her baby as a result of the attack,

:14:59. > :15:00.which happened last August in Bletchley in Buckinghamshire.

:15:01. > :15:06.Another person suffered head injuries.

:15:07. > :15:07.The Scottish nurse, Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted

:15:08. > :15:10.Ebola in West Africa in 2014, will not face charges of dishonesty

:15:11. > :15:18.The panel has agreed to drop a charge that she acted dishonestly

:15:19. > :15:20.when her temperature was recorded during screening

:15:21. > :15:27.Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for the US presidency,

:15:28. > :15:29.has faced extensive criticism, even from some supporters,

:15:30. > :15:31.for failing to be more open about her pneumonia.

:15:32. > :15:35.She was apparently concerned that news of the illness would be

:15:36. > :15:37.exploited by her political opponents.

:15:38. > :15:40.But her supporters also claim she faces a far higher level

:15:41. > :15:44.of scrutiny than her Republican rival Donald Trump.

:15:45. > :15:47.Our North America editor Jon Sopel has been comparing

:15:48. > :15:56.From the word go this has been an election unlike any other.

:15:57. > :15:58.The outsider versus the insider, man versus woman, the insurgent

:15:59. > :16:01.against the establishment, the consummate politician up

:16:02. > :16:05.against the billionaire TV reality star.

:16:06. > :16:10.And it's resulted in very different treatment of the two candidates.

:16:11. > :16:14.Hillary Clinton is seen as furtive and secretive, whilst Donald Trump

:16:15. > :16:19.is perceived as open, candid with nothing to hide.

:16:20. > :16:22.And yet Hillary Clinton has revealed much more.

:16:23. > :16:26.This is her most recent tax return, all 40 pages of it.

:16:27. > :16:30.Donald Trump has refused to release his.

:16:31. > :16:31.This is Hillary Clinton's letter from her doctor

:16:32. > :16:34.going into the detail about her recent mammogram

:16:35. > :16:37.and her blood pressure, respiratory rate while Donald Trump's doctor

:16:38. > :16:48.issued four brief paragraphs with the title -

:16:49. > :16:51.So why the differing levels of scrutiny?

:16:52. > :16:53.These people write for the Washington Post,

:16:54. > :17:00.The coverage of the two of them has certainly been different.

:17:01. > :17:03.Part of the reason for that is because Hillary Clinton has been

:17:04. > :17:06.in the public eye for the best part of a quarter of a century.

:17:07. > :17:11.Donald Trump has been in the public eye but in a much different way.

:17:12. > :17:13.He's basically been an entertainer, a TV host, kind of this mythical

:17:14. > :17:17.I do think that you hear certain words used in descriptions

:17:18. > :17:19.of Clinton that you don't hear in descriptions of Trump

:17:20. > :17:26.In particular allegations that she is shrill, bossy,

:17:27. > :17:29.perhaps overbearing, that she is manipulative.

:17:30. > :17:31.And Aaron says there is only so much journalists can do

:17:32. > :17:38.The media has been very tough on Donald Trump.

:17:39. > :17:43.They've looked at the controversial false things he said and many people

:17:44. > :17:47.in this country just decided that does not when it

:17:48. > :17:57.A large section of the American public loves that Donald Trump isn't

:17:58. > :18:02.a conventional politician and don't expected to behave like

:18:03. > :18:06.one but they may both be applying for the same job but they're

:18:07. > :18:07.running entirely different campaigns and being held

:18:08. > :18:11.The ceasefire in Syria, which started yesterday seems to be

:18:12. > :18:14.holding in most areas and the UN says it's now vital that food

:18:15. > :18:16.and medical supplies are allowed in, especially to the long-suffering

:18:17. > :18:20.The seven-day truce is meant to stop the fighting between Syrian

:18:21. > :18:23.government forces and wide range of opposition groups.

:18:24. > :18:27.If the truce holds for a week then the US and Russia will carry out air

:18:28. > :18:30.strikes on militant groups including so-called Islamic State.

:18:31. > :18:32.So far in this conflict, more than 300,000 deaths

:18:33. > :18:37.The actual figure is thought to be much higher.

:18:38. > :18:41.One of the worst-hit areas is the city of Aleppo - divided

:18:42. > :18:45.between the rebel-controlled east - and government-held west.

:18:46. > :18:47.Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen is there and he sent

:18:48. > :19:04.no one is taking down the sandbanks. The war spread to Aleppo in 2012 in

:19:05. > :19:08.a divided, destroyed city, after thousands of deaths, with hundreds

:19:09. > :19:14.of thousands of lost homes, no wonder they are still sceptical a

:19:15. > :19:17.few hours into a ceasefire. This is the west side of Aleppo controlled

:19:18. > :19:21.by the government. Many more have died on the east side but the pain

:19:22. > :19:30.of death crosses the battle lines, not much else unite the country that

:19:31. > :19:37.the war has left in fragments. A soldier showed me a shell improvised

:19:38. > :19:42.by rebels. He said they pack empty cooking gas bottles with explosives,

:19:43. > :19:57.weld on a tail and fire them from home-made mortars. This is Seaforth.

:19:58. > :20:07.It is an explosive. -- C4. You hear a lot of that. Many of that.

:20:08. > :20:14.Hundreds and thousands of explosions? Very much, very much. It

:20:15. > :20:18.was a small violation of the ceasefire but this man is haunted by

:20:19. > :20:23.years of shelling. And by his grandchildren 's fears. He calls

:20:24. > :20:33.rebels terrorists for CP lost Knight and his son, a leg, to a gas bottle

:20:34. > :20:49.attack. Murder. Killers. They killed the children. And the women. We

:20:50. > :20:58.don't know. Syria. Syria. One day the war will end. Peace will start

:20:59. > :21:04.with a ceasefire. This priest, Christian, hopes that day has come.

:21:05. > :21:08.Rebels destroyed his church. Many Syrian Christians support the

:21:09. > :21:13.regime. The father believes only negotiation will end the war. He

:21:14. > :21:22.backs the ceasefire and believes pouring more weapons into the Middle

:21:23. > :21:25.East leads to disaster. TRANSLATION: From this church, I

:21:26. > :21:30.call on all the countries of the world to stop the arms trade. The

:21:31. > :21:35.money spent on weapons could feed many people and build a civilisation

:21:36. > :21:38.of peace. On the east side of Aleppo which is controlled by rebels, the

:21:39. > :21:42.cemeteries are overflowing. They faced much greater firepower than

:21:43. > :21:47.the West. Air strikes including barrel bombs and more recently the

:21:48. > :21:54.power of the Russian tanks. The ceasefire coincide with one of the

:21:55. > :21:57.biggest Muslim days of the year. And despite widespread doubts, the

:21:58. > :22:04.ceasefire would last, parents here, like those near the front in the

:22:05. > :22:08.West, took a chance. TRANSLATION: I took my kids to the

:22:09. > :22:13.swings today. It was a risk because I don't believe in the ceasefire at

:22:14. > :22:19.all. I don't trust the regime. It's always breaking the promises. The

:22:20. > :22:24.kids should have fun. I couldn't cross into East Aleppo. But this was

:22:25. > :22:27.close to the front line in the old city, a tangle of medieval alleys

:22:28. > :22:34.which used to be the greatest market. Aleppo 's old city was an

:22:35. > :22:44.extraordinary human creation. Now it is empty and dead. The destruction

:22:45. > :22:50.here is tragic and does not match the loss of perhaps 400,000 human

:22:51. > :22:56.lives. Let's assume the ceasefire lasts. First of all for a week and
